I found the ViewPager in the android SDK and was messing around with it. Basically my final task is to create a youtube, facebook, and twitter feed all in one app, using the ViewPager and Fragments to scroll between the 3 categories. I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding house these work, more specifically, how to I add an element (Button) to a specific Fragment? Here's my code so far:
package com.ito.mindtrekkers;

import twitter4j.QueryResult;
import twitter4j.Twitter;
import twitter4j.TwitterException;
